Abstract

Chapter 13 of the "Biology of the Nitrogen Cycle" is presented. It discusses the common geochemical and experimental approaches to quantifying the rate of N<subscript>2</subscript> fixation in natural marine ecosystems. It presents molecular techniques for identifying and assaying the activity of individual nitrogenase phylotypes. It emphasizes the application of the given techniques in marine systems and terrestrial environments.
